1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: We have arrived at week two, the Jaguars visit the 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 2: J P. 4 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Shadwick with you with our weekly pregame interviews on Countown 5 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: to kickoff four conversations to hear this week, starting with 6 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor coming off 7 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: a win. Fred, it's been a busy week. I mean, 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: let's get right into the biggest news of the week, 9 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: and it has to do with running backs. Certainly, Tank 10 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: Bigsby traded to the Eagles the day after Week one. 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: They finally came to a head. There were four running backs. 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: What's your reaction. 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 3: My initial reaction was, you know, they have a pretty 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 3: crowded room. I thought it was great by you know, 15 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,319 Speaker 3: Gladstone in the front office to be able to try 16 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: and secure you know, draft picks, some draft capital that 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 3: will help you know, the team going forward. You know, 18 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: in those later rounds you can actually find some great 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: value plays in terms of gathering picks. And I believe 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: with you know you have two, you have Alan, you 21 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: know who they primarily played every third down snap. He 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 3: was like the third down starter, uh for for week 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 3: one as a rookie. 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 2: That's huge. So there's some confidence in the room. 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 3: So and then you look at the performance of Travis 26 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: Etn that made his decision much easier for them to 27 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: go ahead and trade. 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby. So a pretty good deal, I believe, for 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: both teams. 30 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 3: For the Eagles, I think that's a good insurance play having, 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 3: you know, take one Barkley there. 32 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: But I believe Tank he fits that offense. 33 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 3: My only issue ever with Tank was that putting a 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: ball on the ground, and maybe they've seen enough of 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: that over the years because other than that, I think 36 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: he's a solid runner. 37 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: And Eagles could probably use him as a kick returner 38 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: as well, and the Jags will be looking looking for 39 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: that and we'll see what they come up with ahead 40 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: of the big those Washington. Yeah, well that's one. You 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: need to have another one back there too. I'll kick off, so, well, 42 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: see who the second guy is, all right, Fred, let's 43 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: dig into this Etn performance. Looking back at it, though, 44 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: had the big run seventy one, would love to take 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: that to the house, but didn't. Overall, a really good day, 46 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: and it starts up front. That offensive line I think 47 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: had a fantastic day in the run game, certainly, but 48 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: quarterback only got hit one time as well. You got 49 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: to give those five guys some credit. 50 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 4: Oh. 51 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: I was calling for those guys in our post game. 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: I was calling for them to hopefully they received game 53 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: balls to start out the season, because you got to 54 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 3: keep them encourage and motivated and obviously just simply rewarded. 55 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: They did an amazing job zero sacks. As you mentioned, 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: a quarterback was hit once two hundred yards rushing. Just 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: to slide the performance across the board. Here, they have 58 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: an opportunity to go in and try and do it 59 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: again against the Bengals defense, who over the course of 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: the past several years, they've been known to be a 61 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: pretty solid defense for the most part, or at least 62 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 3: up front. They have a pretty good defense front. So 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: it'll be a good challenge early season challenge. But you 64 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: have to be able to be consistent and steady, and 65 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 3: if Travis can continue to have the sort of quickness 66 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: and bursts and speed that he displayed, I think that'll 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: make their job a lot easier. So they have to 68 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 3: work in cohesion, and you know, last week they showed 69 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: that it's possible. I saw a few miscuts by the 70 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: Backs last week, but again I hadn't been able to 71 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: watch the film in its entirety, just kind of you know, 72 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: split decision glimpses from my vantage point, which is the 73 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: West Club, right, which isn't a great vantage point, but 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: the speed of the game sort of takes you there. 75 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: So they were following their instincts. But again, I'm sure 76 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: they've probably watched the film and say, hey, maybe if 77 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: I had gone here, that was a house call, because 78 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: I know if I was back there, it's a house call. 79 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: Fred Taylor is speaking, and that's that makes a lot 80 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: of sense. He's not telling any lines either. Fred. Let's 81 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: get into this Bengals offense now. Joe Burrow. They were 82 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: held down last week. The Browns defense did really well 83 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: against him, but defense pretty good up front with me, Scarett, Right, 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna get some like Joe Burrow is gonna connect 85 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: with Jamar Chase and you just have to deal with that. 86 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: Sometimes. 87 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: Give us your perspective on Joe Burrow, his competitive nature, 88 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: what he does in game for this team, and how 89 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: he elevates everybody. It feels like he's right there in 90 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: the top five in the league. No sisty Burrow, right, 91 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: that's what they call him. Joe shisty. Yeah, Ice in 92 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: his veins man one of my favorite quarterbacks and then 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: entire league. He's always poised, although he can be rattled 94 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: at times, but you rarely ever see that. Your defensive 95 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: front has to come play, you know. I think he 96 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: was sacked three times last week, led by Miles Garrett, 97 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: and that Brown's defense, which has also been very solid. 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: Their offense has been their struggles. But that's another you 99 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: know game you know at another time. But again you 100 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: have to play tight up front and also good coverage 101 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: on the back. As you mentioned Jamar Chase triple Crown 102 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: winner from a year ago. Also t Higgins, someone who's 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 3: motivated and wants to show that he's worth every penny 104 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: that they pay him this offseason. So you have two 105 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: guys and those two receivers who are more than capable 106 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 3: of getting it done. 107 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: Then you got to deal with you know. 108 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 3: Is Chase Brown right out of the backfield. He's a load. 109 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: So that's that's the big three. You throw Joe Burrow 110 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: in there. Our defense has his hands full again, you 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: have an opportunity to go out there and be opportunistic 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: as they were last week with the amount of turnovers 113 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 3: that came away with in that game. That's what it's 114 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 3: going to take in order to beat this Bengals team. 115 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 3: Three offensive or three turnovers, two turnover on downs, another 116 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: pick six that was called back. The best performance we've 117 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 3: seen from this defense since twenty seventeen, hands down, in 118 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 3: my opinion, we need to see them duplicate that in 119 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: order to be or get close to that to be 120 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: successful today. 121 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: And when the hands are on the football defensively, you've 122 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: got to make the play. You can't give Burrow a 123 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: second shot at it, because routinely when he has a 124 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: second shot when there's a dropped interception, he's throwing a 125 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. 126 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: Oh, without a doubt. 127 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 3: And if Rex Ryan had his way, you would see 128 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: Travis Hunter on the defense full times doing that, having 129 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: those chances to make those sort of plays. 130 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 2: Ball statement by Rex. But we're in Jacksonville. We do 131 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: what we do down the Duvall. 132 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: Douvall is in charge, and uh, you know, it'd be 133 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: good to see him over there. 134 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: I think Tyson had a really solid game. 135 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to, uh do have that sort of 136 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: performance again. 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: Uh. 138 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: Just a huge play last week by Tyson against mcmiller 139 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: late in the game knowing the ball was going that way, 140 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: and he stepped up to the challenge. It's gonna be 141 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: a big challenge this week after what happened over there 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: in Cleveland with Jamar Chase and t Higgins. You better 143 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: believe the Bengals are gonna come out looking for shots 144 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: and opportunities to get the ball to those guys. 145 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: So the secondary, you know, we're gonna have to be 146 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: on point. 147 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: And they played great last week, came away with some 148 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: big plays, some PBUs that led to early turnovers. So 149 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: expecting that again. But it starts up front. Uh, So 150 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: we'll see how it goes. JP Fred will talk to 151 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 3: you in the post game. Pleasure. 152 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: There is always you know where I'll be at, man 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: right here to wait. 154 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Brian Sexton caught up with Jaguars offensive line coach Sean 155 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: Sarrett this week after a dominant performance from his group 156 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: in Week. 157 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: One, talking about it, like you said, that was the 158 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 4: first time those guys had played in a game together 159 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 4: for a full game, and it takes all eleven you know, 160 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: don't kids yourself by that. But it was good to 161 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: see them jail finally, you know, instead of being out 162 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: of practice or different guys in different positions. We had 163 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 4: our starting five in the positions we wanted them, and 164 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: they came together and it worked. 165 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 5: You've been around this game long enough to see how 166 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 5: it's changed in terms of how much you hit during 167 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 5: training camp and how much time they get on the 168 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 5: practice field. Was there at least a sense of curiosity, 169 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: I don't want to say nervousness, but you know about 170 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 5: finally getting them on the grass together, Yeah. 171 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: There was. You know, it's the idea of like even 172 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 4: a practice, it's kind of a controlled environment a little bit. 173 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 4: And then when he got out there in the game, 174 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 4: you just want to see him go, and they went. 175 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 4: They did. They played hard, and they played hard as 176 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 4: a group. 177 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 5: Within three decades of doing this, I've never met an 178 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 5: offensive line coach that was satisfied. So tell me how 179 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 5: the practice field was for you this week. Coming off 180 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 5: a good game. 181 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, coming out on a Tuesday, you know, 182 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 4: those guys are going to be sore as usual, so 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 4: you know, we have to get them back going, you know, 184 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 4: and they did well with it. You know, they came out, 185 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 4: they worked hard, and then today we had a real 186 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 4: physical practice today. I could feel the intent of the practice. 187 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 4: I could feel what they were trying to do out 188 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 4: there on the field, and it was it was good day. 189 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 5: Tell me about Robert Hainsey and what he's meant. I mean, 190 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 5: obviously he's the only other guy in the quarterback that 191 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: touches the ball every place, so he's pretty important. But 192 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 5: in terms of installing the running game, like Liam wants 193 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 5: to see coming from Tampa year one, what are your 194 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 5: thoughts on him so far? 195 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been unbelievable. He's really turned it into our 196 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 4: field general, on the classroom and on the field, you know, 197 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 4: and that's a guy that those guys look toward, they 198 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: lean on him for questions. He's been awesome. You know. 199 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: I don't know how we could do this without him. 200 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 5: He talks about running when you want to run. As 201 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: an offensive line coach, what does that mean? Can you 202 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 5: describe that to our listeners? 203 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 4: Well, you said it perfectly, run when you want to run, 204 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 4: so on third down or on fourth down, you know, 205 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 4: just like in the game that first series he went 206 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 4: forward on fourth down. We knew we had to get it, 207 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: got to run the ball, We got to. 208 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 5: Go two hundred yards. Rushing is not an easy thing 209 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 5: to do, Like you said it takes all eleven. How 210 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: about the cohesion between the running backs and the offensive line. 211 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 5: That's not something that just happens. You work on that 212 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 5: during the week right in the film room. 213 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, we're meeting as a group. We're actually 214 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: getting ready to go meet right now and we'll watch 215 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 4: the run game together. Then we'll get together later on 216 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: and watch the protections. And just like you said, it's 217 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 4: not easy, and that's the thing they're geling. They're still 218 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 4: learning one another. They know filled they'll fill out how 219 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 4: they play and everything else. But they came together, man, 220 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 4: and it was awesome, you know. Along with that two 221 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 4: hundred yards rushing. You know, another hard thing was was 222 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: no sacks. That's very hard to do as a unit, 223 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: you know, to give that meant you know, running that 224 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: ball like that and protect the quarterback like that. 225 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 5: From that perspective, ninety one for Cincinnati is a beast. 226 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 5: How do you handle a guy like Trey Hendricks? And 227 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 5: is it Walker Little's got to have the best game 228 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: of his career or is it a team effort? 229 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 4: No, it really is a team effort. 230 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: I know. 231 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: For Walker, I just need the best version of him, 232 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 4: you know, and he knows what that is. You know, 233 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 4: he gives it every day out here, and he gives 234 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 4: it on Sundays. You know, we'll have a plan for 235 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: ninety one and we'll see how it goes. 236 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: You know. 237 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 4: You know, he's a hell of a player and he's 238 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 4: proved it. You know, lead led the NFL last year 239 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: in sacks and man, he can rush the quarterback. We're 240 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna have a game plan for it 241 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: and we'll go to work. 242 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 5: And I think the final thought, Sean, is that everyone 243 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 5: wants multiple offensive lineman guys they complete left and right 244 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 5: and guard and center, and everyone talks about developing that. 245 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 5: It sure seems like you have an abundance of that, 246 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 5: whether we're talking about it Tuma or Wyatt Milam. You know, 247 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 5: when he gets back, talk about your group and the 248 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 5: versatility that you've developed so far. 249 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's something the front office has done an awesome 250 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 4: job here. You know, they put these they put these 251 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: pieces together in the off season, and I didn't realize 252 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: what I had to I had it. You know, you 253 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: can put them in these spots, you put them into 254 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: situations you know they can handle it, and you're like, 255 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 4: oh wow. You know in case somebody goes down, I 256 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 4: can pull plug and pull guys in different positions and 257 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: it just it makes up my job a lot easier. 258 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 5: So the standard for this group is high, I know it. 259 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 5: How close to the standard were you in Week one? 260 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: And how close do you expect to be this week? 261 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: They met the standard. They did. They came out and 262 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: played physical, they were covered the ball, they were picking 263 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: the ball carrier up. You know, they're covering downfield. And 264 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: that's just something they know. It's every week, you know, 265 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: and that's something we're going to straw for every week. 266 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: You know. We can't now we set the standard. Now 267 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 4: we got to do it every week now. 268 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: The Bengals perspective from the radio voice of the Bengals, 269 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: Dan Horde and plenty to discuss about a team that 270 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: feels like their Super Bowl. 271 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 4: Window is wide open. 272 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: Great to speak with you again, Dan. 273 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 6: Here we are JP likewise, good to have a Bengals 274 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 6: Jags game to look forward. 275 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: To, I know. And it's been a good series of 276 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: course throughout the history old AFC Central rivals back in 277 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: the old days, and the Jags heading to Cincinnati for 278 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: the first time on a road trip since twenty twenty one, 279 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: Let's dig into this Bengals team. You're expecting all these 280 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: fireworks and points and yardage and they barely beat the Browns. 281 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: And what was a really kind of interesting defensive struggle 282 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: last week and week one? 283 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: What was it about that? 284 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: And what's the feedback after Week one with this Cincinnati team? 285 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: The feedback is one to oh and after starting each 286 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 6: of the last three seasons zero to two. Nobody cares 287 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 6: about how it looked the last time I checked the 288 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 6: standings JP. You've got wins, losses, games behind, points scored, 289 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 6: points against. There's nothing in there for uw ugly win 290 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 6: or pl pretty loss. So the Bengals are happy to 291 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 6: be one to oher. Having said that, if you had 292 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 6: told me before the game that the Bengals would win 293 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 6: in spite of their offense, I would have been shocked. 294 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 6: I think everybody that follows this team kind of knows 295 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 6: the storyline. The Bengals are likely to be one of 296 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 6: the higher scoring teams in the league by the end 297 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 6: of the year. The question is can the defense be 298 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 6: better than it's been. It doesn't have to be top 299 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: five with the offense that they have, but it can't 300 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 6: be bottom five like it was last year. So the 301 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 6: defense looked terrific in Week one. Hopefully that will be 302 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 6: the case for the rest of the year. And I 303 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 6: think everybody that follows the Bengals isn't too concerned about 304 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 6: the offense long term. 305 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Dan One of the question marks has been throughout the 306 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: career of Joe Burrow, who is from the outside looking in, 307 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: you have a better idea of this is lack of 308 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: protection for him. He's a sack away from two hundred 309 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: in his career and he's played seventy football games in 310 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: the NFL. The what has the organization done to address 311 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: the protection of Burrow? 312 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 6: Well, since the Super Bowl in twenty twenty one, they've 313 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 6: done a lot to try to improve the protection in 314 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 6: front of him. The following off season after that, they 315 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 6: signed three free agents a center, a right guard, and 316 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 6: a right tackle. The next year, they signed the highest 317 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 6: priced free agent offensive lineman available in that cycle, Orlando 318 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 6: Brown Junior, who's their left tackle now. The year after that, 319 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 6: their first round draft pick was their right tackle, Amarus Mims, 320 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 6: who I think is going to be an excellent player. 321 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 6: This year, they drafted Dylan Fairchild in the third round. 322 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 6: He's starting at left guard and they two more free 323 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 6: agents to compete for the right guard position. And right now, 324 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 6: Dalton Reisner is the guy that's going to start against Jacksonville. 325 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 6: So they keep trying to improve it. It has gotten better. 326 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 6: Nobody would say it's elite, unfortunately, but the hope is 327 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 6: it keeps getting better and better and better, and Joe 328 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 6: will take fewer and fewer and fewer hits. 329 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: He's not scared to stand in there though. Way. That's 330 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: what you like about Burrow is that he's not gonna 331 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: tucktail and run around. I mean he stands in there 332 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: and takes those hits and pushes the ball down the field. 333 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, and no, there are times you would like 334 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 6: him to protect himself a little bit more. Joe maybe 335 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 6: has gotten two percent better at that over the course 336 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 6: of his NFL career, but there have certainly been times 337 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 6: where we're all cringing and looking through our fingers as 338 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 6: the play develops, and then he pulls off a miraculous 339 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 6: player that goes for a fifty yard game and you're like, 340 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 6: wait to go, Joe. But there are times that it 341 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 6: would be prudent for him to chuck it out of 342 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 6: bounds and live for the next play. 343 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: Dan Hord with US voice of the Cincinnati Bengals, Jamar 344 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: Chase T. Higgins. I mean, this is the best duo 345 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: I think in the NFL right now. What's the next 346 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: step for them as a wide receiver duo. 347 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 6: I don't know that there is one, honestly, except in 348 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 6: Tea's case, to try to stay healthier. He's had some 349 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 6: hamstring issues over the last couple of years and have 350 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 6: missed has missed five games in each of those seasons. 351 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 6: But in terms of their on field production, it really 352 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 6: can't be much better. So the question is the guys 353 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 6: around them. You know what you're going to get in 354 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 6: Chase and Higgins. So who's the third wide receiver? I 355 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 6: think andre Yosi Vosh is an emerging young talent, A 356 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 6: late draft pick a few years ago out of Princeton. 357 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 6: He had a tremendous camp and he has caught ten 358 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 6: touchdown passes in his first two NFL seasons. So I'm 359 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 6: not sure if many people know that name, but I 360 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 6: think he's a really talented guy. They extended the contract 361 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 6: of Mike Kasiki, a tight end after he had a 362 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 6: very good first year in Cincinnati, and then went out 363 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 6: and ad a former first round draft pick to go 364 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 6: with him in Noah Fant, who had excellent Bengals debut 365 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 6: last week with four catches, including a touchdown against the Browns, 366 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 6: and then in the running game. Chase Brown over the 367 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 6: last eight games of last season, was probably the third 368 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 6: best running back in the NFL, behind Saquon Barkley and 369 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 6: Derrick Henry. Chase didn't have a great first week against Cleveland. 370 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: He did score a touchdown in the game, but if 371 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 6: you look back over the last eight games of last year, 372 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 6: he averaged one hundred and sixteen scrimmage yards between rushing 373 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 6: and receiving. Again, that would have been third best in 374 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 6: the NFL during that stretch. So they've got weapons all 375 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 6: around Joe Burrow and it didn't really show up much 376 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 6: in Week one, but I think it's bound to eventually. 377 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: Dan Let's touch on this defense and they blew it 378 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: out last year. They whacked everybody on the defensive side 379 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: on the staff pretty much. So where are they defensively? 380 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: What's the scheme feel like? When you have Hendrickson, you 381 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: have a chance in the pass rush game. 382 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 6: Certainly, he's awesome. Led the NFL in sacks last year 383 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 6: with seventeen and a half and had seventeen and a 384 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 6: half the year before as well, so he's been a 385 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 6: consistent force. He had a SAC in Week one against Cleveland. 386 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 6: They brought in Al Golden to be their defensive coordinator. 387 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 6: Al was the linebackers coach for the Bengals when they 388 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 6: went to the Super Bowl in twenty twenty one. He 389 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 6: left at the end of that year to become the 390 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 6: defensive coordinator Notre Dame, and over the past two years 391 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 6: Notre Dame probably had the best defensive team in the country. 392 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 6: He replaced a good defensive coordinator in lou Ana Arumo, 393 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 6: who did great stuff by and large in Cincinnati. But 394 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 6: the one thing I'll say about Lou and he said 395 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 6: this publicly, so it's really not a complaint on my part. 396 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 6: He just wasn't comfortable playing young guys. He didn't trust 397 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 6: young players. It took him a while to put the 398 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 6: young guys on the field. And if you look at 399 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 6: Cincinnati right now and the Bengals salary cap, Burrow's making 400 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 6: fifty five million, Chase is making more than forty million. 401 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 6: Higgins now is nearly twenty nine million. When you spend 402 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 6: that much on offense, just by definition, you're going to 403 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 6: have to be younger and cheaper on defense. So they 404 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 6: have gone to a defensive coordinator who has been playing 405 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 6: young guys in college obviously for the last three years, 406 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 6: and they think that that's a strength of al Bold 407 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 6: and developing young players. So they've invested a lot of 408 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 6: high draft picks on their defense since twenty twenty two. 409 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 6: I think it's ten picks in the first three rounds 410 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 6: since twenty twenty two have been on defense. It's time 411 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 6: to turn it over and let those young guys play 412 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 6: and see if they can develop into the next wave 413 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 6: of good Cincinnati defenders. 414 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: Dan big picture Cincinnati looking at the Bengals, obviously, you're 415 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: in the window when you have the quarterback and you're 416 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: paying that type of money on the offensive side to 417 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: the super Bowl windows still there? How long is it there? 418 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: Is it realistic this season that this Bengals team can 419 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: make a push in a real AFC. 420 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 6: It's absolutely realistic. And as for the Bengals window, I'll 421 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 6: just quote Joe Burrow. I believe it was the year 422 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 6: after they went to the Super Bowl and people realized 423 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 6: that the rookie contract was going to expire in the 424 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 6: next year or two. So somebody asked him about, you know, 425 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 6: what is your super Bowl window? And Joe's quote was, 426 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,719 Speaker 6: the super Bowl window is my entire career, which shows 427 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 6: his confidence, and I agree with it. When you have 428 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 6: one of those guys, one of the truly elite, top 429 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 6: five quarterbacks in the NFL, they elevate everybody on the rosters. 430 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 6: So Patrick Mahomes went through this. The Chiefs basically successfully 431 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 6: have done what the Bengals are trying to do. Get 432 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 6: young and cheap on defense. Once your quarterback is making 433 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 6: the big bucks, and obviously the Chiefs keep going to 434 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 6: the super Bowl, so it can be done. I think 435 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 6: in Cincinnati it will happen. I'm pretty confident in thinking 436 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: that Joe Burrow will get back to a Super Bowl 437 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 6: point and hopefully win the next one. And it's not 438 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 6: out of the question this year. The defense doesn't have 439 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 6: to be elite, as I said earlier, middle of the 440 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 6: pack or better. Probably put Cincinnati in the mix to 441 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 6: represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. 442 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: The busiest man in show business, Dan Horde, voice of 443 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Cincinnati Bengals, great to visit 444 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: and look forward to the game. 445 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 2: Appreciate it. JP. 446 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 6: No questions about the Bearcats versus Northwestern. 447 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: State this week. 448 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 6: Your audience isn't interested in that epic tilty. 449 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: You can find that on your own Google that one. 450 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. 451 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 6: Dan sounds good, Thanks for having me on. 452 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: And finally, Brian Sexton in the locker room this week 453 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: caught up with Jags safety Andrew Wingard, coming off a 454 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: strong performance a week ago and a challenging matchup this week. 455 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 7: It was good. 456 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 8: It was solid, especially like I didn't feel like we 457 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 8: even had for myself specifically, I got many tackle opportunities 458 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 8: in the preseason, and obviously tackling is one of the 459 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 8: big things early on in the season in the NFL, 460 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 8: but you know, rep it every day. 461 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 7: It's one of our fundamental things. 462 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 8: And you know when on the one tackle I missed, 463 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 8: it ended up being a one yard gain because we had. 464 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 7: Guys flying to the ball. So that's another aspect. 465 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 8: Pursuit always eliminates miss tackles, So that was one of 466 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 8: the biggest things that we were able to get them 467 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 8: on the ground even after we missed. 468 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 5: You know word I heard in the locker room a 469 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 5: lot last week was physical and not just in terms 470 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: of being effective tacklers. There was a level of physicality 471 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 5: to a guys when they got hit went backwards, including 472 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 5: that third down hit on the five yard line that 473 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 5: you had. 474 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 7: Yeah. 475 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 8: Absolutely, and that's again, that's what coach Liam preaches every day. 476 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 7: And it's it's just fun, Like the guys are just 477 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 7: fired up. 478 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 8: It's like so many things with this team are being 479 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 8: brought out intangibly just from really good football coaches, Like 480 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 8: things you wouldn't even put a price tag on maybe 481 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 8: a year or two ago, that are completely within our 482 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 8: control they're bringing out of us. 483 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 7: So that's definitely one of the huge things that credit 484 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 7: to them. 485 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 5: There's a posture to the secondary that I might not 486 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 5: have thought possible after the way last season went. It 487 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 5: turned really quickly. 488 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 4: Why. 489 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 8: I just think we're you know, in the putting the 490 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 8: right positions and we got a lot of grinders back there, 491 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 8: you know, like a like Eric Murray, Jordan Lewis, guys 492 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 8: who should be paid more than they're being paid, but 493 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 8: they're still they love the game and they bring guys 494 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 8: along with them and they're ballers. Like being out there 495 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 8: on the field looking across it at Eric and Jordan 496 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 8: and Tyson and all those guys. It's like you just 497 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 8: get fired up to play with guys like that because 498 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 8: you know you're not with any you know, big name, 499 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 8: no divas. You're with guys in the trenches that are 500 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 8: gonna the guy you want in the foxhole with you. 501 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 8: So I think that's been one of the biggest things 502 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 8: in our secondary. And then, like I said, just eyes 503 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 8: on the football. You saw that that play with Eric 504 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 8: is super cool because we rep that play like endlessly 505 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 8: in practice and then just boom, naturally it happens. Eyes 506 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 8: on the football. I'm overlapping on the backside, protecting the 507 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 8: deep ball. It's just a work of art. 508 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 5: Speak of work of art. To tell me about the interception, 509 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 5: give me a play by play. You're in the right 510 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 5: position and all the way through to what you thought 511 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 5: when you looked up and saw the flag. 512 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 8: No doubt, it was like it's fourth downs. He's throwing 513 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 8: the ball right to me. It's like, oh my god, 514 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 8: I'm gonna get on the board in week one. I'm 515 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 8: gonna have a seventy five yard pick six freebie, like 516 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 8: Praise Jesus. And then I'm turning around and usually you 517 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 8: can kind of feel it after a big play like that, 518 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 8: like you feel like three or four guys kind of 519 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 8: jumping on top of you. But I'm like, I only 520 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 8: see Trayvon, I see Travis, and then I just I 521 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 8: kind of get this loll there's like this loll and 522 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 8: I'm just like I knew instantly. I was like, oh man, 523 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 8: but then there it is right there, we above me, 524 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 8: So who cares? 525 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 7: You know, it's on film. Whatever. 526 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 8: It was honestly just fun to run down the sideline 527 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 8: score a touchdown. I haven't felt that since I was 528 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 8: in high school, So that was just super cool, and 529 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 8: then got myself a. 530 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 7: Playoff because I was absolutely gassed. 531 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: So tell me about the defense overall, just because last 532 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 5: year nothing seemed to go right first week out three takeaways, 533 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 5: the physical tackling we've talked about. It just has to 534 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 5: feel like a completely different unit, even though there's a 535 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 5: lot of guys who were here. 536 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 8: It absolutely does. And again it goes back to our 537 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 8: scheme and then the coaching. I believe they're just putting 538 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 8: us in the right spots and they're getting us into 539 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 8: really good coverages and schemes that guys have run before. 540 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 8: You know, Eric has run a lot of these coverages 541 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 8: in Houston. We actually ran a lot of these coverages 542 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 8: when we had Joe Collen back in twenty one, so 543 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 8: a lot of familiarity there. And then, like I said, 544 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 8: guys just absolutely flying around and it's just fun. 545 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 7: It's fun. 546 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 8: And then obviously week one is week one, it's behind us. 547 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 8: It means absolutely nothing. So we can't get to oh wow, 548 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 8: you know, I'm not going to say anything about the 549 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 8: opponent we just played. But so we got to be 550 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 8: on our p's and q's and you know, keep a 551 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 8: levelhead and not think we've we haven't earned anything. 552 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 5: And now about a thought on this week getting ready 553 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 5: for Jamar Jason T. Higgins as good a do what 554 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 5: as you find in the NFL? Is it steady same 555 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 5: week for you or is there a little extra somewhere 556 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 5: in there? 557 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, you try to keep it as you know, 558 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 8: even keel as possible. You don't want to get yourself 559 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 8: psyched out because you know, we've played I've played these 560 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 8: guys probably four times in my career. 561 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 7: So it's not you you know, you get into the NFL. 562 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 8: You can't idolight, you can't you know you're an NFL 563 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 8: player too, and that's what we're you know, we're preaching 564 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 8: to each other. 565 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 7: But I just think they're pedigree. 566 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 8: You know, been to a couple AFC Championships, a super Bowl, 567 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 8: so you know they know they're going. 568 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 7: To be on their p's and q's. 569 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 8: And I think, you know, week week two, Jaguars Bengals, 570 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 8: you know, could be a later on. 571 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 7: You know, you know, you never know. This is be 572 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 7: a great game. 573 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 8: So it's an awesome challenge and these are the ones 574 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 8: you just get really excited for. 575 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 5: So final thought, you've been here since nineteen, You've seen 576 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 5: a lot. You've seen ups and downs. You've seen good 577 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 5: and you've seen bad. This is different, isn't it. 578 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 7: It is. 579 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 8: It's a good start. And again I was saying this 580 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 8: in the spring and all the interviews. We got to 581 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 8: go do it and one game. It's not just it's 582 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 8: not done. We haven't won the Super Bowl yet, so 583 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 8: but it's different. It's different. 584 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: Jaguars Bengals one o'clock Sunday pregame radio coverage at ten 585 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: am with the Public Salegate Show.
